Among his many failures Blair did not establish clear ministerial oversight
of post-conflict strategy, or ensure ministers took decisions to address it, or seek adequate reassurances that the UK could meet its obligations, or test British strategic objectives against
anything but
best case scenarios, or press Bush for definite assurances on US policy or seek advice on the
absence of a satisfactory plan for UK objectives.
Even simple touches like Adan Young's fingers wrapped in white hockey tape (to hide their
absence) and his neck in a dirty red bandana are compelling in and
of itself, confirming that minimalism was the
better choice when one can do
anything visually, even on a tiny indie budget if you have the know how and tools.
